Great potential, powerful, bare-bones at launch

The PlayStation 4 is a worthy and worthwhile successor to the PlayStation 3. Its power and speed is noticeable, as is its quieter processor and fan.
The new Dualshock 4 controller is a fantastic upgrade, with marked improvements in grip, feel, and weight. While the added touchpad is featured sparsely in the current titles, it's incorporated well into the controller, feels slick, and has some nice potential. Most interesting of all is the new SHARE button, which has already facilitated millions of minutes of online streaming, posting, and sharing of gameplay.
The PlayStation Camera (formerly PlayStation Eye) is a nice upgrade as well, with a higher resolution and facial recognition technology. While it requires an additional purchase, it seems worth the investment, even if it is not highly utilized at the present.
Unfortunately, the user interface is very basic and minimalistic. There is currently no support for custom configurations of anything other than your profile avatar, and the selections for the avatar are limited and identical to the basic avatars available on the PS3. You cannot customize the theme, the wallpaper, or anything else at present.
The PlayStation store is now an app embedded to the main menu, which loads quicker than on the PS3. The new look of the Store seems much more well-suited to the next generation of consoles as opposed to the current one.
Overall, the PS4 is an exciting machine with a lot of hidden potential. We truly won't know its basic capabilities until late next year, when the developers have had time to experiment with the software and the game library is expanded. Is it a must-buy right now? Probably not. Will it be worth it to own a PS4 come spring 2014? Most undoubtedly.

Great new character
on August 17, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes
While Skylanders has been a huge hit amongst kids and adults alike, Giants unfortunately didn't enjoy the same influx of new characters that Adventure did. Flashwing is a great exception to this rule.
First off, the character appears to be female, which is a great addition for a franchise that does not have nearly enough female characters. Also, she's a dragon-like character. While Adventure had at least one dragon per element, Giants doesn't have many new dragons, so it's good to see at least one in Flashwing.
With fun abilities and interesting advancement, Flashwing is a worthwhile member of the ever-growing Skylanders family.

FTSK are back to their roots

from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been a FTSK fan ever since I first saw them at the Warped Tour on a teeny stage in the back of the park. Their energy and catchy rhythms make them one of the best pop-punk bands on the scene right now.
After "Underdog Alma Mater" had its moment in the sun, FTSK faltered a bit with their next two releases, in my opinion. Their self-titled sophomore effort and seemingly premature abandonment of "The Weekend" project were both disappointing milestones. But "J.A.C.K." brings them back to full force, with the call and response and roaring anthems the band has become known for.
The stand-out track is definitely "Kick It!", but each song glows for different reasons. If you're new to the FTSK camp, or became disenchanted with their recent progress (like I did), then you should absolutely pick up "J.A.C.K." and jam out like you used to.

Great add-on for a great game

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a fun add-on for Skylanders Giants. Shroom Boom is a great character, with humorous comments and interesting abilities. The cannon item also opens up new possibilities for supplemental support in the story mode, or a new arena in battle mode. The only negative aspect is the fact that Chop Chop was available for purchase during the original game's run, but that would only affect you if you played that game. A must-buy for collectors!

I have always been a fan of The Dear Hunter. I feel that frontman Casey Crescenzo is a musical genius, and has a strong understanding of instrumentality and emotion.
However, I felt that "Migrant" fell short. The Dear Hunter "Acts Series" is easily his best work. While "The Color Spectrum" had some bright moments, it also lacked in others. "Migrant" suffers from the same issues, and has catchy tunes and melodies, but fails to reach the extraordinary levels that would allow it to stand apart from other rock/indie releases of current years.
Even still, The Dear Hunter does have talent, and continues to thrive. I would buy anything they release, and will continue to support them.

Excellent small-size points

I love these smaller PSN cards. Sometimes you just need to buy some DLC, or a cheap new game. Or you just want to bolster your SEN wallet with a little more dough. This definitely does the trick.
